i spent my life expected,
learning the answers to questions i didn't want to be asked
always able to see what would happen next.
i wanted adventure,
wanted to experience a life unknown,
a life sidestepping the path that'd been mapped out for me.
i craved to set new footprints in a smooth plain of sand,
add a galaxy of stars to my own walk of fame,
stop reading the script that was already printed.
so i stopped waiting.
i stopped walking in the back of the pack,
stopped following whoever led me.
i broke free.
not knowing where i was or where i was going or what i was doing was beautiful.
the love of being blind to the future swept me up in a swirl of improvisation.
rising with the tides,
falling with the stars,
climbing each step as it came.
not knowing was all the knowledge i needed to find a
beautiful oblivion.
